polls, president obama is hammering the message to voters that mitt romney wants to rse your taxes. obama likes to cite a study by princeton economist harvey rosen. rosen says the company -- the president misrepresented. what is the truth? professor harvey rosen joins us to explain. thank you for being with us. appreciate your time. the president is saying that you say romney's tax plan we will end up raising taxes on middle-class. is that what you said? >> thas absolutely not what i said. what i said is that he can cut rates on the very highest income taxpayers and get rid of looples and tax preferences, he can make up enough money for those people at the high end to not end up paying more, don't end up paying less. if they don't have to pay less than the people below them don't have to pay more. that's what i showed. mathematically possible for the romney plan to work. i did not show or claim that middle-class people would have to pay more. there is nothing in my aper that states at. nothing in my paper that implies that, nothing in the numbers that would support that conclusion.

everybody says that the polls are skewed one way. >> reporter: a recent poll comes out that shows romney in front. how do you feel about that poll? >> well, he got a good bump out of the debate. >> reporter: so you're saying you believe that poll? >> yeah. >> reporter: for the people in this room, it is indeed tempting to now believe these latest numbers. but not everyone is ready to believe. the pew research poll shows romney in front now. do you believe that's accurate? >> probably as accurate as any out there. >> reporter: this woman had a thought she wanted to express. >> i think the only poll that's going to count is the one on november 6th. >> reporter: you can argue with what many people are saying, but you can't argue with that. >> gary tuchman, wow. that's a lot of people. a lot of opinions. biassed, not fair these polls. one woman saying there's a poll that says they're all wrong. i don't know what that poll is, but any who. what about the democrats though? once the polls start swinging away from president obama, did they feel the same way? >> we're hearing increasingly over th

. >>> a new cnn/orc poll showed mitt romney registered a big bounce in the buckeye state after the first presidential debate. likely ohio voters now have the president's lead dwindling to four points, that's well within the margin of error. that makes the race for ohio's 18 electoral votes a statistical tie. before the debate some polls showed the president leading by as many as ten points. no republican has won the presidency without carrying ohio. >> i think there's probably relief from the obama side that our poll shows him leading through. >>> nine minutes after the hour, mitt romney is not running from big bird. in fact, he's embracing big bird after his pledge to cut funding from pbs. the obama camp went on the offensive accusing the republican nominee of trying to kill the popular "sesame street" character. but romney is not backing down. listen to what he told wolf blitzer in "the situation room" last night. >> big sbird going to be just fine. "sesame street" is a very successful enterprise. i don't believe cnn gets government funding but somehow you all stay on the air. and i ju

obama has a four-point lead up over romney, the cnn poll. the polls tightening across the country in those battleground states. florida, a democratic caller. alan, we will go back to our topic. caller: from the 2003 opinion, justice o'connor, it encapsulates it. the constitution does not prevent consideration of race. i believe they also said in that opinion that race could not be the primary factor, it could be one of many factors. i think that -- i would hope there could be a way where -- there were people that were more qualified. i think that procedure could be discriminatory, but i would hope that we would find a way to say that this procedure, as it is being applied, does violate the constitution, but not strike down all programs designed to include racial equality and be a diverse student body. host: why this system specifically? do you think it goes a step farther? it takes the top 10 from each school, and then for the next round of admissions it includes race at that point as well? caller: i think i agree with what the gentlemen sai
